Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 184 Betting on Everything! (ask for order)
After thinking about it, he decided to say something to his friends:
"Draco, I just met your father and chatted a little bit. There may be something wrong with Lockhart."

Malfoy raised his head in astonishment, and suddenly thought of something, his pale face was a bit ugly, his father was a school trustee, and all twelve school trustees had to sign and agree to dismiss Dumbledore.

In other words, the removal of Dumbledore this time also has his own business?

But why would Dad do this?Why choose Lockhart?

Cedric was two years older than them, and he considered things more comprehensively, so he couldn't help but say:
"Zhang, since you think there is something wrong with Lockhart, then don't go at all. I don't think Dumbledore will give up on us like this. He will definitely find a way to come back."

Several other young wizards also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Xiao shook his head, glanced at everyone, said nothing, waved his hand as farewell, and turned to leave gracefully.

Passing through the crowd, he walked towards Lockhart's office. The huge castle was empty, except for the crisp sound of shoe soles hitting the floor.

The wand was hidden in the sleeve, and could be slid out with a stretch of the wrist, and the other hand clasped the golden talisman, ready to slap Lockhart on the face when he saw him.

Soon, he came to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, and Lockhart's office was at the very back of the classroom.

If it weren't for Huaxia's most critical moment, he would have called his parents over directly!

Zhang Xiao took a deep breath, checked her equipment again, and after confirming that it was correct, she was about to open the door of the classroom.

The moment his fingers came into contact with the wooden door, Zhang Xiao only felt a hook hook forward with an irresistible momentum behind the navel, and then his feet left the ground and flew up.

It flew forward like a gust of wind, and couldn't see anything clearly in front of it, as if it had been thrown into a front-loading washing machine, rolling crazily.

The old wooden door stuck fingers to it like a magnet.

Even though he was in a daze, Zhang Xiao probably understood what happened.

Nima, Tom you old coin!
Portkey!
The little wizards watched Zhang Xiao's back gradually disappear, and felt like a huge rock in their hearts, heavy.

They were silent, not knowing what to say, and Harry said suddenly:

"Guys, are we just watching? Although I don't know what's wrong with Professor Lockhart, Zhang never talks nonsense.

Do I just watch him take risks like this? "

Malfoy said softly: "Zhang seems to have been investigating the secret room all this time. I also asked if he needed help, but he only said that this matter is very dangerous, and he just asked me to protect myself."

"But aren't we good friends? It doesn't make sense for him to take risks by himself, but we hide behind him?" Ron's ears were flushed, and he rolled up his sleeves: "We should help him!"

Neville nodded heavily: "Although I don't know anything, at least I can stand in front of him when the curse flies over!"

Harry stood up directly: "Then what are you waiting for?"

"Are we going directly like this? No plan or anything?" Qiu asked in a low voice.

plan?

Almost everyone turned their heads and looked at Hermione. The little witch's face was tense, her face was a little red, and she pursed her lips: "Well, I do have some immature thoughts!"

She leaned forward, and everyone couldn't help getting closer, only to hear Hermione say:

"There is no doubt that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets caused the attack. Now that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, according to rumors, only the heir of Slytherin can open it, isn't that true?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Hermione's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Now I only have one question, how did Slytherin ensure that only his heir can open the Chamber of Secrets?"

"Blood?" "Some kind of token?" "Some kind of spell?"

Malfoy listened to everyone's chattering discussions, and said thoughtfully:

"Why can't we ask the person involved?"

party?What party?

Only Hermione glanced at Malfoy approvingly: "Yes, this is my idea too. Malfoy said before that the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago, and Hagrid was used as a scapegoat. It is impossible for giant spiders to cause petrification.

But the main reason for Hagrid's expulsion was that a student died, and the Ministry of Magic was under a lot of pressure, and this dead student was "

Harry shouted together with Ron and Malfoy:
"Weeping Myrtle!"

Hermione nodded, like a minister of magic, and began to distribute tasks to everyone:

"So, we need to split up now, Cedric, you have a high prestige among the little wizards, try to restrain them from wandering around, and let Percy and Penello cooperate with you.

We believe Chang, but if Lockhart really has a problem, there's a good chance he'll unleash the monster. "

Ron shouted from the side: "If Percy and Penello don't cooperate with you, you tell him about the abandoned classroom-kiss me, honey!"

Malfoy also said: "With this badge of the Qingluan Club, Slytherin will obey your orders, and the prefects must also obey the authority of the president!"

Cedric showed a 'very trustworthy' smile and nodded vigorously:
"Don't worry, leave it to me. Hufflepuff's prefects have a very good relationship with me, so all the prefects of the four houses will be fine."

Hermione then said to Cho Chang and Davis and Pansy Parkinson:
"You go to Lockhart's office, and Davis pretends to go in and ask questions. Qiu, Parkinson, you have to show your admiration for Lockhart, and then you have to sign autographs and take a group photo. The main task is to confirm Zhang's situation and go in in turn. "

The three of them also nodded and left.

Looking at the last few people, Hermione took a deep breath: "Let's go to the bathroom on the third floor and ask Myrtle what happened back then."

In the abandoned girls' bathroom on the third floor, Myrtle floated quietly in the air. Ever since she remembered many things that she had forgotten in the past, the little wizards found that Myrtle was much more stable. She often floated in the air with an expression Tranquil, as if remembering something.

After hearing the movement, Myrtle turned her head and showed a peaceful smile that she had never seen before:
"Long time no see, hello."

A few young wizards lowered their heads a little cautiously. The main thing is that this is the women's washroom. Although it was abandoned, they still couldn't let go of it psychologically. They carefully looked at the surrounding environment. It was very clean and there was nothing Abandoned look.

As if seeing their doubts, Myrtle floated down and said with a smile:

"It's very clean, isn't it? Zhang is really a good person. He said, Myrtle, since you have already remembered many things in the past, don't let yourself live like the past. You have to start anew.

Then he cleaned the place as a whole, and it looks much more comfortable now. "

The little wizard nodded silently. They were a little ashamed. This friend of theirs seemed to always think like an adult, so they never thought about caring about Myrtle's situation, even though Myrtle always regarded them as friends.

Hermione suppressed her chaotic thoughts, and whispered:

"Myrtle, actually we want to know how you died. This question is very impolite, but it is very important. Zhang Zhang may be in danger!"

Myrtle's expression suddenly became serious, and a faint white light shone on her body:

"It's nothing. It's nothing. As long as it can help you, it's fine to help Zhang."

Lost in memory, she said in the melancholy and ethereal voice characteristic of ghosts:
"I died here - I remember it very well.

At that time, Olive Hornbe laughed at me for wearing glasses and looking like a four-eyed dog. I was hiding here and crying, and suddenly I heard someone come in.

I heard a boy's voice and it pissed me off so I opened the door and tried to let him go to the boys bathroom and all I remembered was a pair of really huge yellow eyes."

The little wizards held their breath and listened nervously to her narration. After a moment of silence, Myrtle added:
"And then I died, by the way—I remember the guy saying something weird, it sounded like a hiss."

Hermione and Harry called out together:
"Parseltongue!"

"Why didn't I think of it, is there anything more representative of Slytherin than Parseltongue? Everything can be lost, but Parseltongue can't!" Hermione's small face was flushed with excitement, and she ignored it. The confused little wizard turned to Harry and said:

"Quick, try it, it's right here! This is the entrance to the secret room!"

Harry nodded, tried his best to calm down the excitement in his heart, closed his eyes and brewed for a while, then let out a weird and terrifying hiss:
"Open it!"

But nothing happened, Myrtle said quietly:
"Zhang tried it before I finished talking, he took a round thing and made the exact same hissing noise as you, but nothing happened, and I advise you to stay away from the faucet.

Zhang laid a lot of traps there, and asked me to monitor there. "

Malfoy, who was about to go over to check, immediately shrank back.

Several little wizards looked at each other: "Zhang already knew about it? But why didn't he tell us?"

"Maybe it's about our safety? As you know, Zhang is almost equivalent to a professor." Neville said in a low voice.

His statement was immediately recognized by everyone, and the little wizards felt uncomfortable and guilty. When good friends faced danger, they hid behind.
Ron suddenly held his head and shouted, "Harry, you can speak Parseltongue? This... this is the mark of a Slytherin descendant!"

Harry shrugged: "Who knows, maybe Slytherin and I are related? Compared to that, I want to know what to do next!"

All eyes turned to Hermione.

Hermione sat cross-legged on the cold floor, resting her index finger on her chin, her little face tensed, thinking desperately.

The little wizards looked at her eagerly. After a while, Hermione raised her head:
"There is only one way. Since Zhang has tried it, it proves that the opened entrance is not here, but it must be in the campus!"

She turned around and ran outside.

Everyone didn't know why, so they had no choice but to run out with Hermione.

Just after arriving at the auditorium, the little wizard assigned reported the desperate situation - Lockhart's office was empty!Even the professors couldn't find Lockhart.

Hermione's face had already started to turn pale, even the most stupid person could think of the answer, Zhang was probably taken away by Lockhart!

Where did you take it?Of course it's a secret room!Although I don't know what evil purpose Lockhart has, but where else can he be besides the secret room?
"There is only one way now, although it is very... I don't know how to describe it, but it should work!" Hermione pursed her lips, and the expression on her face became firm:
"You write to Professor Dumbledore! I'll go to Professor McGonagall!"

McGonagall's mouth was almost pursed into a straight line, she nodded slightly, and her blue eyes stared at Hermione, who was also pursing her mouth, from above the square lenses.

"Miss Granger, what you said is a bit too ridiculous. Has Professor Lockhart opened the secret room? Zhang has been taken away by him?
And what you said - willing to use your degree as a guarantee, if Zhang is fine, you accept being expelled from Hogwarts? "

Hermione's sad tears were about to fall, but she still nodded her head.

McGonagall almost laughed angrily, she shook her head and said, "Miss Granger, we would never expel the little wizard just because she came up with some... some whimsical ideas, and a degree is not a guarantee or a bet. s things.

I can only say that everything you said is too unbelievable. "

Hermione lowered her head and didn't say a word. Only then did Harry and Ron know what Hermione told Professor McGonagall. They blocked Hermione behind and shouted anxiously:

"But professor, it's all true, why can't you try to believe us?"

Malfoy didn't make a big fuss, but said slowly: "Professor, if the Malfoy family donates a large amount of Galleons to the school to support this event, can you see if you see?"

Mag said sternly:
"Mr. Malfoy, what do you think of school?"

She lowered her arms angrily, and turned her head to Flitwick, who was sitting cross-legged on the auspicious cloud, and Snape, who was standing beside him with arms crossed, and asked:
"Felius, what do you think of Severus?"

After pondering for a while, Flitwick said with a smile:

"Minerva, I think it's a very interesting idea, assuming everything Miss Granger said is true, then this is really a genius idea!

In other words, even if it's just the little wizard's guesswork, there's no harm in giving it a try, is there, Minerva?

But in case it's true."

Professor Snape snorted coldly, but did not speak, nor did he express any objection.

Professor Flitwick continued: "In any case, they should be encouraged to care about their classmates, isn't that what we want young wizards to learn?
To be honest, not being able to find Lockhart and Chang made me a little uneasy, too. "

Professor McGonagall nodded slowly, she was convinced, the serious and square professor muttered:

"Okay, just try this once! No matter if it works or not, you all stay in the auditorium obediently, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. This kind of thing is too dangerous. This is the responsibility of the professors!"

After speaking, she shook her head and walked forward: "I'm really crazy, I would agree to such an outrageous request."

In the auditorium, the little wizards were still chatting. For many people, the secret room, the professor, and the principal were very distant things, and they might not have anything to do with them.

But with Professor McGonagall's orders, everything is different.

The students at Hogwarts had never seen so many house elves. These elves who were most familiar with the castle and even knew every corner led the students to the predetermined location with their shrill voices.

No one complained, but everyone was extremely excited. This is a very strange sense of participation and the joy of doing great things.

Everyone looked at their watches nervously.

743 people, including the house elves, these 700 people were scattered to every part of the castle.

As soon as the pointer pointed to the determined time, everyone opened the red roaring letter in their hands, which was copied by the professors by duplicating them in double and bit by bit.

The weird and evil snake language resounds in every corner of the castle!
"Open the secret room!"
